387: From Walk-on Player to Fitness Pro

Drew Taddia was captain of winning high school teams in three different in Canada, but his hundreds of letters to U.S. college coaches were coming back, "Not interested." So, he targeted four states with warm climates, packed his bags and just showed up at a California college. The coach looked at him like he was crazy when this unknown player told him, "I'm going to play for you," but Drew made it into the tryouts and onto the team. Knowing he had work to do, he taught himself nutrition and fitness. "Soon I became the go-to guy of how to design a fitness program."
